Abstract

Implantierbare Anordnung zum mechanischen Ankoppeln eines zu mechanischen Schwingungen anregbaren ausgangsseitigen Treiberteils (15) eines aktiven oder passiven Hörsystems an eine vorgewählte Ankoppelstelle (16) an der Ossikelkette, der Steigbügelfußplatte oder einer das runde Fenster oder ein artifizielles Fenster in der Cochlea, im Vestibulum oder im Labyrinth (Gleichgewichtsorgan) abschließenden Membran über eine Koppelanordnung (17), die ein mit der vorgewählten Ankoppelstelle (16) in Verbindung bringbares Koppelelement (22, 52, 80) aufweist. Das Koppelelement ist mit einer Stellvorrichtung (30, 59, 83) zum wahlweisen Verstellen des Koppelelements zwischen einer Offenstellung, in welcher das Koppelelement in und außer Eingriff mit der Ankoppelstelle (16) bringbar ist, und einer Schließstellung versehen, in welcher das Koppelelement im implantierten Zustand mit der Ankoppelstelle in Kraft- und/oder Formschlußverbindung steht.
